An advanced semiconductor material selection for switching devices in electric vehicles using three multiple attribute decision making methods

Electric Vehicle (EV) has emerged as a solution for the growing concerns on pollution and depleting oil resources all over the world. The performance and efficiency of an EV mainly depends on the power electronic switching devices used in it which, in turn depends on the properties of materials used...
